Go Woo-seok (28, Triple-A Saint Paul Saints, a farm team of the Minnesota Twins), who is aiming to be called up again to the Major Leagues, delivered a flawless 1-inning performance in a silent protest. He continued his scoreless streak over two consecutive games following the "foreign substance on glove" suspension.

On the 8th (Korean time), Go Woo-seok made a relief appearance at CHS Field in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA, in a home game against the Triple-A Louisville Bats (a Cincinnati Reds farm team) of the "2026 Minor League." He showcased a perfect 2-inning, 2-strikeout scoreless performance. This was his first appearance in four days after throwing 1 scoreless inning against Louisville on the 5th.

With his team leading 9-4, Go Woo-seok entered the mound as the fourth pitcher of the game in the top of the 8th inning. He got leadoff batter Juan Brito to a shortstop grounder in just three pitches, showing an excellent start.

Next, against Dominic Petelli, he threw a curveball at 82.2 mph (about 132 km/h) that dropped low and inside on the fourth pitch after a strike, foul, and another foul, inducing a swinging strikeout in a dominant pitching display. Riding this momentum, against Austin Hendrick, he took an advantageous 1-ball-2-strike count before striking him out looking with a four-seam fastball at 95.1 mph (about 153 km/h) inside, cleanly ending the top of the 8th inning.

Multi-inning pitching was no problem either. In the top of the 9th, he faced leadoff batter Edwin Arroyo on the mound and got him to a second baseman grounder in just three pitches. Against the following batter P.J. Higgins, he engaged in a tough battle lasting nine pitches before inducing a foul fly to first base with a slider at 85.5 mph (about 137 km/h) inside. He then caught the final batter, Michael Toglia, on a first baseman grounder, perfectly closing out the game.

Go Woo-seok's fastest pitch of the day was 153 km/h (95.1 mph), thrown against Hendrick, the last batter in the top of the 8th inning. It was a clear display of powerful velocity. Having gradually regained his form since returning from suspension, Go Woo-seok demonstrated that his game feel has fully returned by delivering scoreless performances over two consecutive games. At the same time, he succeeded in lowering his Triple-A ERA from 2.51 to 2.35.
